Join me as we journey around France—a mixture of many different trips over many different years. We've lived in Paris (and hope to do so again) and have re-visited almost every year. And our mission is to cover the whole country, one trip at a time.

Found on the road out of Beaune towards the famous wine area of Nuits St Georges.

We stopped at this sign of a wine cave with such an intriguing name. We all know about the “Angel’s Breath”, that small percentage of wine/alcohol that evaporates during fermentation (and which goes to the angels supposedly), which gives wine cellars their distinctive aroma.

But this name is different: this is theCave (cellar) of the Guardian Angel. Will their wine guard the sippers we wonder?

Whatever….it’s a lovely name for a really nice place in an amazing part of the world for wine. And we do feel blessed to be here.

Some of the vines that produce wines that (maybe) protect us
